THE PEARL FISHERS, “Au fond du temple saint” – Matthew Polenzani (Nadir), Mariusz Kwiecień (Zurga)

Nadir (Matthew Polenzani) unexpectedly returns to the pearl fishers’ community after years of adventures. Once alone with his close friend Zurga (Mariusz Kwiecień), the two recall their last trip together: in Candi, they saw a beautiful woman at the temple of Brahma. They both fell in love with her at first sight, but they swore to forget her for the sake of their friendship. They now swear again to remain friends.
